Remember, remember, the Fifth of November

Gunpowder treason and plot

I see no reason why gunpowder treason

Should ever be forgot

This is the stanza many people in the Uk recite every 5th of November. Do you want to know why? Keep reading to find out!

On 5 November, people across the UK celebrate Bonfire Night with fireworks, bonfires, sparklers and toffee apples  because it's the anniversary of an attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament, known as The Gundpowder plot.

What was the Gunpowder Plot?

Guy (Guido) Fawkes was part of the Gunpowder plot in 1605. He wanted to blow up King James I and his government.

This was because of religion. England was a Protestant country and the plotters were Catholic. They wanted England to be Catholic again, which they thought they could do if they killed King James I and his ministers.

So, Fawkes and his group put 36 barrels of gunpowder in cellars underneath the Houses of Parliament in London, ready to set off a massive explosion.

However, one member of Fawkes' group sent a letter to his friend who worked in Parliament, warning him to stay away on 5 November. The King's supporters got hold of the letter and the plot was rumbled!

Guards broke into the cellars where the gunpowder plotters were waiting. They were arrested and executed.

Have a look at the video below to get a full picture of thsi British celebration.

• 4º ESO A:  jackfjm

LET'S GET ORGANISED/ VAMOS A ORGANIZARNOS

Hello everyone!  How are you? We have been thinking about how to make things easier for you and your families and we have come up with this idea. You all have three lessons a week except 2º ESO with four lessons a week. So, here are the days when you'll have lessons to check without worrying about As and Bs.

¡Hola chic@s! ¿Qué tal estáis? Hemos estado pensando sobre cómo facilitaros el trabajos un poco más a vosotr@s y a vuestras familias y se nos ha ocurrido esta idea. Todos los cursos tenéis tres clases a la semana excepto 2º ESO, que tenéis cuatro. Así que, aquí están los días en los que tendréis clases en el blog sin importar si estáis en A o en B.

Hello again boys and girls! Welcome back to this adventure! We hope you are OK and that you have had a good time over your Easter holidays. You worked really hard and you deserved it! 

Today, we want to welcome you to the 3rd term. We know that it won’t be easy, but we are together in this and we are going to make the most of it. 

We are now in a storm, they say,  but remember that after the storm, comes the calm (and the sun). It is our time to keep going and never give up, because when this situation finishes, we, you and us, your teachers, will have learned to be stronger. Remember that "What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger" according to Kelly Clarkson!

¡Hola otra vez chic@s! ¡Biencvenid@s a esta aventura! Esperamos que estéis tod@s bien y que lo hayáis pasado bien en las vacaciones de Semana Santa. ¡Trabajasteis duro y os las merecíais!

Hoy, queremos daros la bienvenida al 3er trimestre. Sabemos que no será fácil, pero estamos junt@s en esto y vamos a sacarle el máximo partido.

Estamos, dicen que en una tormenta, pero recordad que después de la tormenta siempre viene la clama (y el sale el sol). Es el momento de continuar y de no rendirse, porque cuando esta situación termine tod@s nosotr@s, vosotr@s y nosotr@s, vuestr@s profes, habremos aprendido a ser más fuertes. 

Recordad la canción de Kelly Clarkson: What doesn't kill you  makes you stronger!

CONSULTA CUALIFICACIÓNS 2ª AVALIACIÓN

SUSPENSIÓN CLASES/ SCHOOL LOCKDOWN

Estimadas familias:

Esperamos que todos os encontréis bien. Estamos viviendo una situación extraordinaria y por eso tenemos que adoptar medidas diferentes.

Como sabéis, el colegio estará cerrado al menos por 15 días. Durante el tiempo que dure la suspensión de la actividad lectiva, utilizaremos el blog como un diario. Las teachers iremos colgando cada día actividades que l@s alumn@s debéis realizar para seguir el ritmo que ya teníamos. 

¿Y cómo contacto con las teachers? Podéis dejar un comentario en la entrada correspondiente o enviar un correo a ingles@feijoozorelle.com

Entendemos las limitaciones que puede haber, pero nos gustaría que nos enviaseis las respuestas a las actividades que os proponemos al correo del departamento (ingles@feijoozorelle.com). Es importante que en el asunto especifiquéis el grupo en el que estáis.

Los alumnos de bachillerato recibirán un correo electrónico los días que tienen clase de inglés con actividades que incluirán listening, reading, writing y ejercicios de gramática y vocabulario. En el correo serán informados de los plazos para realizar y entregar esas tareas.

¡Mucho ánimo!
